OPINION
PHIL HARDBERGER, Chief Justice.
Appellant, Dexter Hypolite (“Hypolite”), appeals his conviction for possession of marijuana. Hypolite presents four issues, contending: (1) the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress under both the United States and Texas Constitutions; (2) the trial court erred in admitting his post-detention/arrest statement; and (3) the evidence was factually insufficient to support the jury’s verdict on the element of knowledge. We overrule these issues and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
